A woman told firefighters she was walking Sunday when she saw several juveniles place an object in the road and run away. The Citizen newspaper reported she saw several 1-liter plastic bottles taped together that contained an unknown substance. She was going to pick it up, but then backed off, and one of the bottles exploded.

Firefighters said they were able to reduce pressure on another bottle to neutralize it. It was determined to have drain cleaner and an unknown accelerant.
